Didn't that model benefit the large carriers by allowing them to treat their customer the same way? Perhaps not to the extent of budget airlines, but it definitely helped move customer experience for all airlines backwards.

So the tool actually does work, just not exactly how they want it to? Brilliant review

Sharing with up to 2 others and you get between 15% and 50% off?

Uber just found a way to increase their revenue by somewhere between 150% and 250% (you do the math, thats my guess)

Oh, is that still an impediment these days? Seems like "legal" is now a crowdsourced project

All those great, personalized ads you've been asking for?

25 years ago I made a deal with my employer. I had a 1 hour commute each way, we had a product deadline to meet. I traded work from home for a 9 hour work day (+1 hour from my total commute time). I worked from home, no kids, dedicated office and was much more productive and hit the deadline with time to spare. I never went back to the office - except for special occasions. I saved a bunch of money on car expenses (gas, maintenance, insurance) and got an hour of my life back

Fast-forward to 2024, my brother dies and I move to take care of his kids. 2-4 kids (depending on who is home) and one giant dog, dedicated workspace. The amount of time I spent working plummeted. Feeding and walking the dog, driving kids around, managing the household finances, maintaining the house, etc, etc. eats up a huge amount of time.

I did some of that stuff - maintaining a home, personal stuff - without eating into working hours when it was just me. When you add up to 5 living beings that you also have to manage there is simply not enough time in the day (and weekends are for naps, thank you).

However, I will say that it is finally nice to take advantage of that "oh you have a family" PTO where people can just disappear from work. Perhaps employers should take advantage of this and start hiring single-no-kids people, or even favor married-spouse-doesn't-work people - that would make sense to me if you want to increase productivity. That would suck for single-with-kids people, but you could stick them in roles that don't have big productivity impacts.

Should be interesting to see whether people prefer to feign ignorance of being tracked like this, or they prefer the transparency.

I'm going to take a guess, based on the state of the world today, that people prefer to pretend that tracking like this doesn't exist so they can fake rage against it.

"Ballie" is just a bit on-the-nose
Not that they should go to the pharmaceutical company level of naming, but c'mon show a bit of effort.

And move it 30 minutes?

The song, Pac Man Fever, went to #9 on Billboard and the game was everywhere. Sure, Pong and Space Invaders should be there for other reasons, but Pac Man opened up the market to a much wider audience I think.

Ultima Online? That was the first MMO that, I think, popularized the genre. Probably need to put the whole series in there

Lemonade Stand and/or Oregon Trail - gotta be in there somewhere

Missed it by *that* much

I wonder if this will trigger any response from the FTC, and if the "national security" aspect of chip manufacturing would play a part of any lack of response.
